OWNER’S MANUAL

For your safety, read carefully and keep in this vehicle.

Welcome to the growing family of new NISSAN

owners. This vehicle is delivered to you with

confidence. It was produced using the latest

techniques and strict quality control.

This manual was prepared to help you under-

stand the operation and maintenance of your

vehicle so that you may enjoy many miles (kilome-

ters) of driving pleasure. Please read through this

manual before operating your vehicle.

A separate Warranty Information Booklet

explains details about the warranties cov-

ering your vehicle. The “NISSAN Service

and Maintenance Guide” explains details

about maintaining and servicing your ve-

hicle. Additionally, a separate Customer

Care/Lemon Law Booklet (U.S. only) will

explain how to resolve any concerns you

may have with your vehicle, as well as

clarify your rights under your state’s lemon

law.

A NISSAN dealership knows your vehicle best.

When you require any service or have any ques-

tions, they will be glad to assist you with the

extensive resources available to them.

In addition to factory-installed options, your ve-

hicle may also be equipped with additional ac-

cessories installed by NISSAN or by a NISSAN

dealer prior to delivery. It is important that you

familiarize yourself with all disclosures, warnings,

cautions and instructions concerning proper use

of such accessories prior to operating the vehicle

and/or accessory. See a NISSAN dealer for de-

tails concerning the particular accessories with

which your vehicle is equipped.

Before driving your vehicle, please read this

Owner’s Manual carefully. This will ensure famil-

iarity with controls and maintenance require-

ments, assisting you in the safe operation of your

vehicle.

other vehicles with features of this type, failure

to operate this vehicle correctly may result in

loss of control or an accident.

Be sure to read “Driving precautions” and

“Avoiding collision and rollover” in the “Starting

and driving” section of this manual.
